Re: hopelessly stuck rings

Wedgie, on the stuck/seized water pump screw, I take out my torch and pre heat the whole upper unit by going around it at least 3-4 times. While doing this; use Liquid Wrench from C Tire and slowly pour it at the screw base thread. Now take the torch and apply more heat to the casing were the screw is. It is going to smoke like "H", but when you let it sit over night it will do the trick. In the morning when you go to try and remove the screw; apply heat again to the area of the casing were the screw is located while using your wrench to free it.
